The FSR Climate 2015 Annual Conference focused on the economic assessment of European climate policies.It covered the main climate-related existing policies at EU, national and subnational levels and included the following sessions, each of them with an invited speaker:
Martin Weitzman (Harvard University, USA) gave the keynote speech.
As part of the conference a Round Table on the Distribution of Costs of Climate Change Impacts and Policies took place on 22 October, from 17.00-19.00 at the Palazzo Guadagni Strozzi Sacrati (Presidenza Regione Toscana). See the recording of the round table.
